New mock-up images of PSP2 emerge

PSM3 magazine imagineers its vision of Sony's next handheld

PlayStation fans are keen (read: desperate) to know what the forthcoming Sony PSP 2 handheld will look like, with the latest mock-up images of the handheld from PSM3 magazine sparking debate this week.

The British PlayStation mag has taken everything that it knows about the PSP 2 from developers, analysts, publishers and others and created these images of what its illustrators think Sony's final PSP2 will look like.

Sony will not comment on rumour or speculation surrounding the PSP 2, though we expect to start hearing a lot more from Sony Computer Entertainment about its plans for the forthcoming handheld early in 2011.

You can see a full scan of the magazine article over on Gametrailers' forums.

Or you might even want to venture out to your local newsagent or WHSmiths to buy yourself a copy of the mag to pore over the images in their full glossy glory.
